You should use an EDI software to do this. ;-)

I guess that the fields have always the same size for the same kind of records.
(ADD, SND, ...)
You can create a dictonnary file with the description for each records.
Then, when you want to read your data message, you read the lines (one by one)
in a buffer and you can seperate each datas by reading your dictionnary file.
That's easy, no ?

Could you paste some sample records?  And a sample usage?

Hi all

I need to do some sort of data mapping
i.e.
in file 1 I have message from other system
in file 2 I have format of this message and names of files and fields where
this information should be stored in my shop (Because format of message can
be changed I would like to separate code from this format)

How to write data to files/fields given as a parameter?
Is there any way except SQL?
Any API?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advice
Marcin
